The controversial film had faced resistance from various Rajput groups, who accused the filmmakers of 'distorting history' and showing Rani Padmini in poor light. Historians, however, are divided whether the queen actually existed.

Last month, Supreme Court also lifted the ban on the movie imposed by several states and directed them to ensure its release.

The film missed its December 1 release as it was stuck with the CBFC over certificate clearance issues. It finally released on January 25, with five modifications, including a change in the title from 'Padmavati' to 'Padmaavat', and multiple disclaimers. 

However, some cinema hall owners decided not to screen the film in the wake of protests being carried allegedly by Karni Sena members in Gujarat and Haryana. 

Starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles, the film is based on the epic poem 'Padmavat' by Malik Muhammad Jayasi and narrates the story of Padmavati, a Rajput queen who committed 'Jauhar' to protect herself from Khilji.
